Artificial intelligence is pushing digital information verification into uncharted territory. Experts are flagging a concerning trend: the growing difficulty in distinguishing authentic from fabricated visual content.
"Looking at images or videos will soon become unreliable as a verification method," researchers warn. "The technology is advancing so rapidly that we may already be at the point where human visual inspection alone can't catch deepfakes and AI-generated content."
This isn't just theoretical. The implications ripple across digital trust—from media authenticity to on-chain data integrity. As AI-generated content becomes increasingly sophisticated, the entire infrastructure of how we verify what's real faces unprecedented pressure. The question isn't just *if* detection becomes impossible, but whether we've already crossed that threshold.
